Anti-Ageing
Anti Ageing
What causes our skin to age?
- As you get older, your skin naturally becomes less elastic and more fragile. Decreased production of natural oils dries your skin and makes it appear more wrinkled. Fat in the deeper layers of your skin diminishes. This causes loose, saggy skin and more pronounced lines and crevices.
- Ultraviolet radiation is the primary cause of early wrinkling. Exposure to UV light breaks down your skin's connective tissue — collagen and elastin fibres. Without the supportive connective tissue, your skin loses strength and flexibility. Skin then begins to sag and wrinkle prematurely.
- Also, some other factors can contribute to wrinkles such as smoking, pollution, diet, lifestyle and repeated facial expressions.
What are the signs of Anti-ageing?
The signs of Anti-ageing are sagging, fine lines and wrinkles, bags around the eyes and photo ageing which includes redness, dyspigmentation, abnormal growths, and poor texture.
It is never too late to benefit
Even people who already have signs of premature skin ageing can benefit from making lifestyle changes.
11 ways to reduce premature skin ageing:
- Protect your skin from the sun every day by using sunscreen that is broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher and water-resistant.
- Apply self-tanner rather than get a tan.
- If you smoke, stop.
- Avoid repetitive facial expressions. Wearing sunglasses can help reduce lines caused by squinting.
- Eat a healthy, well balanced diet.
- Drink less alcohol.
- Exercise most days of the week.
- Cleanse your skin gently. Scrubbing your skin clean can irritate your skin. Irritating your skin accelerates skin ageing.
- Wash your face twice a day and after sweating heavily.
- Apply a facial moisturizer every day. Moisturizer traps water in our skin, giving it a more youthful appearance.
- Stop using skin care products that sting or burn. Irritating your skin can make it look older.
Getting great results for your rejuvenation efforts all boils down to 3 simple secrets:
- Use treatments formulated with clinically proven ingredients.
- Make sure your products contain effective concentrations of active anti-ageing ingredients.
- Layer your products to address different ageing skin symptoms. For example, use a treatment proven to diminish wrinkles, one that eliminates age spots, and another to treat dark under eye circles.
